i was thinking of a worldwide financial blackmail shake down of Apple Corporation, since they seem to have all the money in the world, that's actually in cash and not debt, exception to dubai and norway of course.

I live in Hangzhou and this whole G20 affair has been such a monumental pain in the ass for everyone involved, both foreigners and Chinese people. For the past two or three months, the city has closed down major streets, forcing businesses to close, and basically a harassment and close monitoring of foreigners in the city. I think the government is just using G20 as an excuse to be hard on everyone when there is not really a need for there to be. The government is actually advertising this bullshit with G20 banners everywhere.

I had a teaching job this summer I enjoyed working in an office, and was told August 8th, nearly a month ago that foreigners were not allowed to work there or be in the area. So this bullshit cost me about 6-7,000 RMB (or about $1,000-1200 USD), for a two day event. One long standing "foreigner bar" basically had to close for good.

So, I escaped Hangzhou because I have a Chinese wife who lives in another city in the province. No train, so I have to take the bus, and the bus station is so fucked now. Have to show an ID to buy a ticket, then go through a security screening to get into the terminal. Then, as I am waiting the 5-10 minutes for my bus to board, two PSB guys came up to me to see my fucking passport, asking me questions, what is my phone number, where do I work and all that jazz. My apartment/dormitory will be closed the first week of September, even though this place (Xiasha) is miles and miles from where this shit meeting is even going to be. So if I were not married with somewhere to crash, I would be homeless and paying lots of money to travel....since the hotels are not allowed to accept foreigners.

I apologize for the "dirty words" but I will be happy when this shit ends and I get my town back, and I feel this is the feeling of absolutely everyone else in the community, locals and foreigners alike. Trust me, the weekend after this shitfuck G20 circus act, we all are going to party like its 1999!

My advice is , if you don't have to be in HangZhou ,don't be

Also did you know that everytme you use the phrase " G20" , an alert comes up in certain places.

south china sea should be discussed ...  no doubt in my mind...

chinese agressive investment in clean and undeveloped places (Brazil, central america, africa) while still not dealing with extreme polluting practices at home. sending these practices to other places is just plain stupid.

cash only for cars

no fishing in scs ...  none for 10 years

canada refugee policy should be debunked

https://ca.news.yahoo.com/forget-maple-syrup-hockey-justin-bieber-124041...

France should not be in the G20.

Putin should be  bowed to for his aggressive stance in Syria and then shot and pissed on if he continues to support Assad

Saudi Arabia should only have female reps

Australia should be commended for its immigration policies

USA should be avoided at all costs ... 2 USA's  right now, who knows which one to deal with.

India should be welcomed with glee for their contribution to film and call centers, but then trashed for their treatment of women.

South Africa should attempt to get more money from everybody to help clean up a mess that still exists many years after their freedom.

Turkey is on the right track...  kind of f...ed up but on the right track. friends and foes coming together, in a common cause.

Argentina....  more beef please exported to China ...cheaper than australia, please!!

Brazil has to go it alone...  no more Chinese investments

Mexico. listen to big bro to the north.

France....  crazy as hell

Germany, well they they better, stop refugees for starters and do it strong.

Italy...  sorry about the quake..grow and export more grapes and olives, and more GOOD looking women.

UK, is another much divided place....  get your act TOGETHER  first and then come see us.  in house remedy ... not international.

Indonesia ...  up and coming ... not sure, what to commend or berate...  hope they do well, avoid Chinese investment

Japan,  build that military and fend for yourself

South Korea ...  otherwise known as SAMSUNG . keep up the good work but sometimes my imported kimchi just does not seem to be up to samsung quality

CHINA  fix your own fuc...ing problems before exporting them to the rest of the world. Your big $$$ does not help people, or the planet. spend cash, not credit, on the people. go greener faster

Not a what should be discussed ramble ... but a quick who are they ramble. and as a parent of a young man to be in an entourage of one of these things... the best thing about a day is taking of the flipping suit.
interest rates... non issue
isis - non issue... almost done -
china should be accepting refugees ... try that one
Russia should be accepting refugees ..try that one

BAU - business as usual. Global elites will converge for a circle jerk of mutual masturbatory elitist fuckwittery. Foreigners, and the petty bourgeois, are not invited to witness this spectacle. It's a shuttered conclave of concuntery. Expect nothing.
